Business Wire
BAE Systems expanded the capabilities of its Digital GPS
Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR) by enabling beamforming with Trimble
receivers in addition to its own receivers. DIGAR's beamforming
capabilities increase the level of GPS jamming protection for
aircraft by a million-fold – helping pilots execute their missions
in contested environments.

BAE Systems’ engineers in Cedar Rapids developed software to
ensure the compatibility of its antenna electronics with
industry-standard Embedded GPS Inertial Navigation System (EGI)
technology, enabling fast communication with transmitter
electronics for superior beamforming. DIGAR provides the only
antenna electronics on the market to beamform with both BAE Systems
receivers and Trimble GPS receivers embedded in aircraft EGIs, as
well as federated GPS systems and stand-alone GPS receivers.
“The modern battlespace has evolved, and peer state positioning,
navigation, and timing threat systems are challenging our ability
to conduct combat operations in the place and manner of our
choosing,” said Greg Wild, director of Navigation and Sensor
Systems at BAE Systems. “By combining DIGAR’s beamforming with
trusted inertial navigation system data, we offer the highest level
of jamming protection available today.”
DIGAR is a high-performance military GPS system for fixed-wing,
rotary-wing, and unmanned airborne platforms. It combines
field-proven antenna electronics, advanced signal-processing, and
beamforming techniques to improve the reliability of positioning,
navigation, and timing data in the presence of disruptive
electromagnetic signals. DIGAR is also compatible with the advanced
M-Code – delivering additional security to the warfighters who rely
on it.
BAE Systems’ anti-jamming GPS technology has defeated powerful
and sophisticated adversary threat systems in testing and combat,
and is available for airborne, shipborne, and ground vehicle
applications. The company’s military GPS business is based in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, where it is building a 278,000-square-foot
state-of-the-art research and manufacturing facility scheduled to
open in 2022.
